Being Stealthy
In order to be a successful thief, you can’t be caught by those who would rather
turn you in or see you dead. When maintaining stealth, rely on your light gem.
The brighter it is, the more easily others can see you.
What will get you caught if you aren’t careful:
•
Moving through brightly lit areas.
•
Moving in partial shadows after an enemy or civilian is aware of your pres-
ence.
•
Running or walking over noisy surfaces, such as metal floors or tile.
•
Bumping into items that move and make noise near an enemy or civilian.
•
Leaving dead bodies in plain view.
•
Using your dagger or arrows to kill victims. (Victims scream, and killing
them with these weapons creates a pool of blood.)
What helps you remain hidden:
•
Waiting to move until your opponent isn’t looking.
•
Sticking to the shadows and creeping slowly over loud surfaces.
•
Extinguishing torches and fires to create additional shadows you
can use for cover.
•
Crouching while hiding or moving.
•
Flattening your body against a wall.
•
Knocking out guards or civilians before they see you.
•
Distracting guards (by throwing junk items or using a tool).
•
Firing moss arrows (for stealth) or noisemaker arrows
(for distraction).

Finding and Selling Loot
Anytime you step close to an item that is
highlighted, you can use or pick up that
item. During a mission, pick up anything of
value — later, you can sell these items to fences for cash.
Keep your eyes open for exceptionally valuable or useful items. They sport a
reddish sheen and twinkle, and you should always pick them up!
Each mission has three pieces of special loot that sell for quite a bit more.
Trading on the Black Market
In pockets of the City, you can sell loot for cash and replenish supplies. Look for
red handprints —the universal mark of thieving establishments.
Fences
A fence takes valuable loot off your hands, plus
gives you cash for whatever you’ve stolen.
However, each fence will only buy two of the
three main types of loot — gems, artwork and
metal. For instance, one fence may refuse art,
while another steers clear of gems. You’ll have to
visit multiple fences in the City to figure out who
buys what.
To sell items to fences:
1. Enter the Fence’s room and listen
to him or her.
2. Select
Sell All
, or select a specific item.
3. Select
Yes
to confirm the sale.
4. Select
Back
to exit the store.
To see what you’ve picked
up so far, pause the game, select
Gear
, then

maker an offerings of manfoolsy fleshes
drinker a sippings of manfooled bloods”
– Harvest song,

To sell loot,
head west from your
apartment in the City
and find a fence.
Fences and Stores can
also be a good source of
information, sometimes
even hinting at thieving
jobs available in the city.
